Week 25

I can't believe how soon you boys will be here!  We are getting everything ready for you both.  We are still working in the nursery but it looks great!!!  We scheduled birthing classes, doctors appointments, photo shoots and much, much more.  
Your Uncle Michael came out to visit last week before your newest cousin is born.  It was tons of fun to show him Oregon.  Once you two arrive, we will figure out a way for you both to meet your 3 cousins.  
This week has been all about getting ready for your parent's last trip before you two make your appearances into this world.

Your Grandma came out to visit this week!  We did not visit any Oregon landmarks....it was just a baby party! We had the Love's (Dan, Jacq, Juliana, Samuel, Jerry and Juanita) out for the 4th of July! Your dad made ribs on his grill (the second you can eat adult real food you will discover he is a grill master).  We went shopping for tons of baby decor and maternity clothes.  Dan and Jacq also gave us some new supplies like a pack and play and baby swing!  You two will love them!
